Hi,

Yep. I can see those terrific HTML files out there [1] :-)

Since we now have this "html-cleanse-to-asciidoc-and-markdown" hammer, and now that everything looks like a nail, I think I'll give it a run and try to generate some asciidoc.

Who knows, we could even build an ePub with the user guide, or upload it to the website.

Cheers,
Antonio

Also, we have an area for the github wiki pages at [2]. Do we want to
start a wiki there?


I thought we'd decided on asking for a separate wiki repo (ie.
incubator-netbeans-wiki ?)

You brought up the issue that we couldn't support pull requests via the GH
wikis, and infra confirmed that although they're backed up they don't seem
to be visible as a "normal" Apache git repository.


I recall talking about the UserFAQ [1], but I thought most content there
was obsolete (mailing list, license agreements, contribution agreements,
plugin portal, update center, blogging) and we decided not to port it.
The UserFAQ is _huge_, by the way.


OK, that makes sense - losing track of where we got to.  At the same time,
we potentially lose some useful information if we don't do something with
those pages, and quite a lot that aren't linked in either faq.

So, what about bringing all the wiki into a separate repository (where it
will still be browse-able on GH) and prune / edit there before bringing any
more across to the website?

Other option would be a branch for this on the main website repo.  Might
help with history?  Could end up a mess!  Depends how wiki-like we want our
not-a-wiki to be! ;-)

Best wishes,

Neil
